  • 1Identify what cyberbullying and cyberstalking mean using prior knowledge of online behaviour
  • 2Show learners two short phrases on the board: 'Ama received mean comments on her TikTok video' and 'Kwame's location was shared online without permission' — ask: Which one is bullying? Which is stalking? Learners discuss with their partner and raise hands to answer
  • UNDERSTANDING CYBERBULLYING, CYBERSTALKING, DIGITAL FOOTPRINT, AND DIGITAL SHADOW
  • 1Play a film clip using the Projector showing a Ghanaian teenager experiencing cyberbullying on social media — pause after and ask: What did Kofi do that was hurtful? What platform did he use? Learners write one sentence in their books
  • 2Display on the Projector four definition cards: cyberbullying (repeated harmful messages online), cyberstalking (following/tracking someone online without permission), digital footprint (all information you leave online), digital shadow (information collected about you without your knowledge) — read aloud, learners copy into books with one Ghanaian example per term (e.g. cyberbullying: insulting someone's appearance on Facebook)
  • 3Pair learners — distribute the Textbook opened to the Information Security section — each pair finds ONE real example of cyberstalking or digital footprint from the case study and shares aloud (e.g. 'Abena's WhatsApp status shows her home location every day')
  • 1Computer/Laptop
  • 2Projector
  • 3Textbook (Computing Curriculum — Information Security section)
  • 4Internet connection
  • 1Ask: 'If you post a photo at Makola Market with the street sign visible, whose digital footprint is that — yours or someone else's?' — learners discuss with their seat partner and one pair shares the answer (yours, because you posted it)
  • 2Learners stand in two lines — one line represents 'Digital Footprint' (things you share), the other 'Digital Shadow' (things collected about you) — read out: 'Your location from Google Maps' — learners move to the correct line and explain why
Exercise
  • 1Write one sentence: Name one way Kwesi's digital footprint could harm him if someone uses his posted photos and personal comments from Instagram to cyberstalk him. Explain in their exercise books.

  • 1Recall and list at least five information hacking techniques from Day 1 discussion
  • 2Show three rapid-fire cybersecurity scenarios on the projector: (1) Ama receives an email asking her to reset her bank password via a link; (2) Kofi's laptop suddenly locks and demands GH₵500 to unlock; (3) Yaw's Instagram account logs in from an unknown location. Ask learners to whisper to their partner: Which technique is happening in each scenario?
  • EXPLAINING TEN HACKING TECHNIQUES WITH REAL EXAMPLES
  • 1Display the textbook page listing ten techniques (phishing, keyloggers, Denial of Service, eavesdropping, malware, brute force, social engineering, ransomware, man-in-the-middle, spyware) on the projector. Read aloud: Define phishing as 'fake emails pretending to be from a bank asking you to enter your password.' Ask: Why would a hacker send this? Learners write one-sentence answers in books
  • 2Pair learners. Assign each pair TWO techniques from the list. Learners use the textbook to find the definition and one real-world example (e.g., 'Ransomware: criminals encrypt your files and demand money—like Abena's school laptop being locked last year'). One pair comes to the board and writes their two techniques and examples for the class
  • 3Display on the projector a table with columns: Technique | How It Works | Real Ghana Example. Fill in three rows together (phishing, keylogger, DDoS). Ask: Which one is most dangerous? Learners hold up 1–3 fingers to vote; accept all answers without judgment
  • 1Computer/Laptop
  • 2Projector
  • 3Textbook
  • 4Internet connection
  • 1Learners stand in a circle. Teacher names a hacking technique; the first learner to raise their hand explains it in one sentence—if correct, they sit down; continue until all ten are explained
  • 2Pairs swap their written examples from Phase 2 and read each other's work; thumbs up if the example is clear and matches the technique, thumbs sideways if it needs improvement
Exercise
  • 1Write down three of the ten hacking techniques you studied today and explain in two sentences how each one could happen to a student using the internet at school or at home in their exercise books.
